ipx_addr

The ipx_addr function converts an address format from hexadecimal format to binary

format.

p_addr

is a pointer to the IPX address in binary format. This is the return value. This

address is a pointer to the structure sockaddr_nv.

addr_ptr

points to an IPX address in hexadecimal format, such as:

0x000000F200001B30DD8C0451

where the first 8 digits are the network number, the next 12 digits are the node

number, and the last 4 digits are the IPX socket number.

Errors

0xffffffffl is returned if the character string that is passed is not an IPX address.
